BORplus PPR & PPR-CT Pipes & Fittings

BORplus Polypropylene & Polypropylene Random Copolymer Crystalline Temperature Pipes & Fittings is the latest invention in polymers piping industry, developed with a crystalline structure that exhibits an improved pressure rating at elevated temperatures. A special nucleation process that enables the pipe to operate at higher pressures at elevated temperatures with the same wall thickness of normal PPR, this high pressure rating allow to down-gauge to a thinner wall pipe offering higher hydraulic capacities and cost savings. According to the definition found within industry standard ASTM F2389, PP-RCT means polypropylene random copolymer with modified crystallinity and temperature resistance. PP-RCT is a copolymer of propylene and at least one comonomer, where the propylene is more than 50% of the composition. PP-RCT piping products are rated for continuous operation at 82C° temperature, with pressure rating depending on their wall type (SDR). PP-RCT pipes also may include reinforcement layers for benefits such as reducing longitudinal thermal expansion/contraction.
